How do you demonstrate both environmental and health performance in a meaningful way?
USGBC and IWBI are increasing the alignment between their programs. Knowing how to leverage each in a mutually beneficial way is the key to driving successful integration of a dual certification approach.
LEEDuser’s expert guests, Mohammad Abbasi and Maeve Donohue of WSP, explain how LEED and WELL mesh—and how they don’t. Get armed with a series of ‘credit-feature crosswalks’ that synthesize the consistencies and highlight the key differences between LEED and WELL requirements related to thermal comfort, light, water, and sound.
CEUs available.
